My review is largely going to be built around comparisons to this film's predecessor, _Searching (2018)_, which I quite enjoyed. While I was initially concerned that the filmmakers were following the formula of the original a bit too closely (e.g. [spoiler]opening with a melancholic flashback to reveal the death of a parent[/spoiler]), they ultimately use the similarities as another means to misdirect the audience. The tongue in cheek acknowledgement of the first film (in the form of the true crime Netflix adaptation "Unfiction") was also a clever touch. As with the original, the screen based POV is an excellent way for the audience to experience an investigation, with plenty of opportunity for creative problem solving. Of course, there's still a lot of handwaving necessary on the tech side of things, with two factor authentication likely stopping much of June's work dead in it's tracks, but things move fast enough that I didn't really catch on it. With respect to the central mystery, things ramp up in scope and stakes a lot more than the original. It took me a bit by surprise, and it does start to strain suspension of disbelief, but nothing deal breaking. With respect to performances, Storm Reid's June was a bit hit or miss for me, with some stilted deliveries standing out amongst otherwise solid work. Javier the Columbian Taskrabbit was a standout. Just a fun idea for a character.
